Roland Barthes


Barthes suggested that narrative works with five different codes which activate the reader to make sense of it:
ENIGMA- A narrative device that teases the audience by presented a puzzle or riddle to be solved
ACTION- Narrative device in which a resolution is produced through action 
SYMBOLIC- Connotation
SEMIC- Denotation 
CULTURAL- A narrative device which the audience can recognise as being part of a culture
